このコンテンツについて

Shortlisted for The Women’s Prize • Named a Most Anticipated Book by Electric Literature, Publishers Weekly, The BBC, Daily Mail (London), and more

A darkly funny, life-affirming “joy of a debut novel” (David Mitchell) that follows five women from three generations of a once illustrious Iranian family as their lives are turned upside down.


The women of the Valiat family are in crisis. Elizabeth, the regal matriarch, remained in Tehran despite the revolution and only has Niaz, her Islamic law–breaking granddaughter for company. In America, Elizabeth’s daughters, the flamboyantly high-flying Shirin and frustrated housewife Seema, are wondering if their new lives there are what they had hoped for. Lastly, there’s the second granddaughter, Bita, a disillusioned law student trying to find deeper meaning by giving away her worldly belongings.

When an annual vacation in Aspen goes wildly awry and Shirin ends up being bailed out of jail, gossip about the family spreads like wildfire. Soon, Shirin sets out to restore the family name to its former glory. But what does that mean in a country where the Valiats never mattered to anyone?

The Persians is an irresistible portrait of a unique family in turmoil that explores timeless questions of love, money, art and fulfilment. Here is their past, present, and a possible new future for them all.

批評家のレビュー

"The narrators of this audiobook—Donia Bijan, Lanna Joffrey, Nikki Massoud, and Mozhan Navabi—bring the vibrant, multifaceted Valiat family to life with skillful and dynamic performances. This multigenerational family saga spans decades and continents as the story moves from Iran to the U.S. Each narrator captures the nuances of their character with precision—from Bijan’s authoritative Elizabeth, whose regal presence and complex emotions are conveyed beautifully, to Joffrey’s spirited portrayal of Seema, who evokes both vulnerability and longing. Massoud gives Shirin a spirited, bold energy that mirrors her ambition, while Navabi’s portrayal of Bita offers an introspective tone. The contrast between each narrator helps convey the tension between the old and new worlds, making this a compelling listening experience."
